Dear Friends---Yes it is that time a year---my once annual appeal to support a fantastic non-profit in East Central Indiana ( FUSE) doing some amazing work to support Families of Children with Disabilities Please note that my time frame to raise funds in short because the fundraiser event (Strike-A-Difference) is this coming Sat. Feb. 25th.
Through tireless work of volunteers ( FUSE board and many others)--this organization has supported and touched over 400 families (2016) in Central Indiana in a variety of avenues ( Parent Support Group, Fun Activities with Families, Referrals to Services,Personal Advovacy for Child rights to services, Disability Expo, etc..). FUSE ( Families United for Support and Encouragement) has served the needs of children and families with disabilities for 20 years. This milestone was celebrated in 2016.
All in--this awesome organization uses its funding to improve the lives of children with disabilities in our Central Indiana community. I am proud to be a financial supporter and volunteer. ANY tax-deductible contribution would be GREATLY valued and appreciated. Please help me celebrate the abilities of everyone and help me in reaching my fundrasing goal of $2,500--I can double this goal through a matching grant from CVS Health.
Sincerely, Andy Arland

I'd like to invite you to join me in raising funds for an organization that I believe in and feel really deserves our support. FUSE is a local non-profit that provides resources, information and support to families raising children with special needs. Some of the ways they do this is through education and training, parent support meetings and referrals to agencies that provide services relevant to their child's disabilites. It helps parents feel they are not alone in raising a child with special needs and makes parenting just a little easier To learn more, go to www.fuseinc.org
If you'd like to join me in raising funds for FUSE, you can create your own page by clicking the "Become a Fundraiser" link to the right.
Thanks for your support!
